2007...A year of great new Products....

It's the start of a New year and we are looking forward to bringing you a lot of information in this Blog along with a lot of new ideas in the world of Straps.

You ask, "What could be coming that is new in the world of straps?"

To start, Officine Firenze is changing. Yes, Officine Firenze will become "Officine Firenze by Mario Paci". These straps will be hand made in the Original Factory that made Panerai Straps starting in 1938...the Cuoierie Meccaniche Brelli Di Ciampi in Castelfiorentino, Italy.

Under the watchful eyes of Mario Paci and Fabrizio Ciampi we will bring you leathers from all over Italy that will be used for the finest in Vintage straps. The new Mario Paci website will have both the Orginal Mario Paci editions as well as the Officine Firenze by Mario Paci brand. They will be here soon.

As for Giovanni e Figlio, the brand continues to expand with new hides, new buckles, new looks...all hand made in the Brelli Ciampi shop. No other straps for Panerai can boast the ongoing workmanship that is done by Mr. Ciampi and his staff to bring to you hand made straps of the highest quality.

Giovanni e Figlio straps for Panerai can be found at www.timeconnection.biz the home of Maestro Straps, TC, Giovanni e Figlio, Mario Paci, Lady TC, TC Firenze plus memorabilia and watch accessories.

Coming next week, an update on some new buckles, hides and strap looks for your Panerai watches.
